Hooray for the weekend! Not only do I love having two days off to spend with my family, but Saturdays are
farmer's market days. I love strolling past all the baskets of
crisp greens, brightly colored veggies, and the bunches of aromatic
herbs.

The vegetables of summer are amazing, making it so easy to eat healthy.
I love to buy baby lettuce and freshly harvested mesclun from
local farmer's markets and vegetable stands. They taste amazing, and they're so crisp, but if you don't eat them within a couple of days, they can turn soggy and slimy.

One of the best things of summer is the food. So many of my favorite veggies are in season, so they are less expensive and tastier. This makes summer a great time to eat and make salads.

At my last two facials, both estheticians said they believed in using natural ingredients. Since the skin is an absorbent tissue they say - if you wouldn't want to eat the product, you shouldn't put it on your face.
So I found this
Basil Acne Tonic recently, and since I love basil I thought it would be worth checking out.

Let me give you some friendly advice. When you're cooking with a recipe that calls for fresh oregano and you go to the store and all they have is oregano in a tube, just forget it. Skip the oregano.
